Abstract 

The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) has conducted aerial surveys of the 

beluga population in Cook Inlet, Alaska, each June and/or July since 1993. Results from 

1993 to 2000 were published in Rugh et al. (2000a). The current document is a collection of 

field reports for the subsequent years, from 2001 to 2004. Surveys were done 5-12 June 2001 

(55 flight hours; 29.3 hours good effort), 4-11 June 2002 (45 flight hours; 24.4 hours good 

effort), 31 May -12 June 2003 (61 flight hours; 30.5 hours good effort), and 2-9 June 2004 (45 

flight hours; 19.0 hours good effort). All surveys were flown in an Aero Commander (twinengine, high-wing aircraft) at a target altitude of 244 m (800 ft) and speed of 185 km/hour 

(100 knots), consistent with previous surveys. Tracklines were flown 1.4 km from shore 

along coastal areas around the entire Inlet, including islands, and offshore transects were 

designed to run the length of Cook Inlet or cross it, minimizing overlap within each season as 

well as between years. These searches effectively covered 25% to 31% of the entire Inlet in 

each of the 4 years, but nearly 100% of the coastal areas were surveyed each year. In 

particular, most of the upper Inlet, where belugas have been found consistently, was surveyed 

five to six times each year. Paired, independent observers searched on the coastal (left) side 

of the plane, where virtually all beluga sightings occur, while a single observer searched on 

the right. A computer operator/data recorder was also on the left side. After finding beluga 

groups, a series of aerial passes allowed four primary observers to each make four or more 

independent counts of every group, (i.e., typically 16 aerial counts for each group). In 

addition, whale groups were videotaped for later analysis and more precise counts 
iv 

in the laboratory. During these surveys, only two belugas were seen in lower Cook Inlet 

(south of East and West Foreland), none were seen in the upper Inlet south of North Foreland 

and Point Possession, but many were seen in the Susitna Delta (33%), Knik Arm (31%), and 

Turnagain Arm/Chickaloon Bay (36%). The annual sums of medians from aerial counts 

provide a quick index of relative abundance, not corrected for estimates of whales missed and 

assuming there may be some exchange of whales between areas. Annual index counts have 

not changed appreciably from 1998 to 2004 (192, 217, 184, 210, 181, 174, and 187, 

respectively), but these counts are lower than those made from 1993 to 1997 (302, 276, 322, 

287, and 261, respectively). These annual medians mirror the abundance estimates that have 

been corrected for missed whales (653, 491, 594, 440, 347, 367, 435, 386, 313, 357, and 366 

for the years 1994-2004, respectively).

Introduction 

Belugas (Delphinapterus leucas) are distributed around most of Alaska from Yakutat 

Bay to the Alaska/Yukon border (Hazard 1988). Five stocks are recognized in this region: 

Cook Inlet, Bristol Bay, Eastern Bering Sea, Eastern Chukchi Sea, and the Beaufort Sea 

(Angliss and Lodge 2004, O’Corry-Crowe et al. 1997). The most isolated of these is the 

Cook Inlet stock, separated from the others by the Alaska Peninsula (Laidre et al. 2000). 

Belugas in Cook Inlet are very concentrated in a few river mouths and bays during parts of the 

year (Rugh et al. 2000a). The small size (approximately 400 whales; Hobbs et al. 2000a) and 

geographic and genetic isolation of the whales in Cook Inlet (O’Corry-Crowe et al. 1997, 

Laidre et al. 2000, Rugh et al. 2000a), in combination with their strong site fidelity, has made 

this stock vulnerable to anthropogenic impacts. Until 1999, these whales were subjected to an 

unregulated harvest (Mahoney and Shelden 2000), but on 31 May 2000, the stock of belugas 

in Cook Inlet was designated as depleted under the Marine Mammal Protection Act (65 FR 

34590) and is now managed with a small, regulated, subsistence harvest by Alaska Natives. 

Each June/July since 1993, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) has 

conducted annual aerial surveys to study the distribution and abundance of belugas in Cook 

Inlet (Withrow et al. 1994, Rugh et al. 1995, 1996, 1997a, 1997b, 1999, 2000b, 2001, 2002, 

2003, 2004). This project has been in cooperation with the Cook Inlet Marine Mammal 

Council (CIMMC) and the Alaska Beluga Whale Commission (ABWC). Aerial surveys are 

proven to be the most efficient method for collecting distribution and abundance data for 

belugas in Cook Inlet and have been used for many years prior to the NMFS surveys (e.g., 

Klinkhart 1966, Calkins et al. 1975, Murray and Fay 1979, Calkins 1984). The NMFS studies 
2


have been the most thorough and intensive (Rugh et al. 2000a). The primary objectives for 

the current study are to document sighting locations and count belugas in Cook Inlet while 

maintaining a continuity with preceding studies to allow for inter-year trend analyses. Results 

from 1993 to 2000 were published in Rugh et al. (2000a). The current document is a collation 

of field reports for subsequent years from 2001 to 2004. 

Study Area 

Cook Inlet is a major inland sea in south-central Alaska covering approximately 

20,000 km2

. The southern boundary is an opening into the Gulf of Alaska approximately 

85 km across from Cape Douglas to Elizabeth Island. The northern limit, at the Susitna River, 

is 315 km north of Cape Douglas. From there two substantial tidal estuaries extend to the 

northeast (Knik Arm, roughly 55 km long) and southeast (Turnagain Arm, 75 km). The 

shoreline of Cook Inlet (1,350 km) is highly irregular with considerable freshwater input from 

many rivers and creeks, including glacial melt. Detritus from glacial erosion and strong tidal 

fluxes keep the waters of upper Cook Inlet (north of the East and West Forelands) extremely 

turbid to the point of being nearly opaque with silt. A description of beluga habitat in Cook 

Inlet can be found in Moore et al. (2000). Anchorage, the largest city in Alaska, served as the 

base of operations for these aerial surveys. Refueling stops were sometimes made in Homer, 

Kenai, Birchwood, and Palmer. The aerial surveys covered coastal areas of nearly all of Cook 

Inlet as well as much of the offshore waters.

Methods 

Aircraft and Data Entry 

The survey aircraft, an Aero Commander 680 FLP (N7UP), has twin-engines, highwings, and 10-hour flying capability. There are bubble windows at each of the observer 

positions, maximizing the effective search area (Fig. 1). Two observers were on the left side 

of the aircraft providing independent search effort on the side where virtually all belugas were 

seen – near the coast. A third observer searched on the right (offshore) side of the aircraft 

without a second observer because of the low probability of making beluga sightings more 

than 3 km from the coast. A data recorder sat at a computer desk in the left-rear portion of the 

aircraft where distance from shore could be monitored. An intercom system provided 

communication among the observers, data recorder, and pilots, but a selective listening device 

was used to aurally isolate each observer position. Observer seating positions were noted 

each time they were changed, generally every 1-2 hours to minimize fatigue. Location data 

were collected from a portable global positioning system (GPS) interfaced with the laptop 

computer used to enter sighting data. Data entries included routine updates of time, locations 

(every 2 seconds), start and stop of search effort, percent cloud cover, sea state (Beaufort 

scale as a function of the wind on the water surface), glare (on the left and right), and 

visibility (on the left and right). Visibility was documented in five subjective categories from 

excellent to useless. Best counting conditions (excellent visibility) were when sea state was 

less than 3 on the Beaufort scale (no white-capping), there was a light overcast (reducing 

glare), the sun was well above the horizon (for good lighting), windows were clean (even 

small dust particles or smears distracted from sighting effort), and the observer was 
4


comfortable (back pain, air sickness, etc. can reduce search effort). When conditions were 

considered poor or useless, they were treated in the analysis as unsampled areas. Only the 

typical search area (e.g., >10/ below the horizon and 10/ to 60/ to the side) was considered 

when selecting a visibility category. 

Tracklines 

Coastal surveys were conducted approximately 1.4 km offshore. The objective was to 

search all nearshore, shallow waters where belugas are typically seen in late spring/early 

summer (Rugh et al. 2000a). The trackline distance from shore was monitored with an 

inclinometer such that the shoreline was generally kept 10° below horizontal while the aircraft 

was at the standard altitude of 244 m (800 ft). Ground speed was approximately 185 km/hour 

(100 knots). This coastal survey included searches up rivers until the water appeared to be 

less than 1 m deep, based on the appearance of rapids or riffles or as recommended by Native 

hunters who have flown with us in the past. 

In addition to the coastal surveys, systematic transects were flown across the Inlet. 

Offshore tracklines were designed to run the length of Cook Inlet or cross it, minimizing 

overlap. Each year there has been an attempt to alter the offshore sampling effort to conduct 

as broad an array of searches as is practical. 

Tides and Light 

The broad geographical range of these surveys in conjunction with rapidly changing 

tide heights – as much as 9.5 m (30 ft) – made it impractical to survey at specific tidal 
5


conditions (such as at low tide) throughout Cook Inlet. However, there was an attempt to 

synchronize flight timings with low tides in the Susitna Delta and Knik Arm. This was 

primarily to minimize the effective survey area; at low tide, a large proportion of upper Cook 

Inlet has exposed mudflats that would otherwise have to be surveyed. It has proved best to 

survey Knik Arm during a rising tide because whale groups were relatively more concentrated 

as they followed the tide up flooding channels. Also, when the whales started going north, 

they moved away from the intense air traffic associated with Elmendorf Air Force Base, 

Merrill Field, Hood Lake, and the Anchorage International Airport. Whales sighted near 

Anchorage usually could not be circled (see Counting Protocol) because of the density of air 

traffic in that area. 

Tidal changes in Turnagain Arm can be so rapid that tide rips compromised visibility, 

so it proved best to survey there on a high tide while it was slack. Also, at high tide, belugas 

in Chickaloon Bay are sometimes grouped close to shore or in Chickaloon River (at the 

southeastern edge of Chickaloon Bay) where they are relatively easy to count. The timing of 

aerial surveys in areas south of Point Possession and North Foreland was a function of 

weather, not tides. 

Increased emphasis on surveying during preferred tidal conditions is thought to 

improve the efficiency of the aerial surveys but probably does not significantly affect the 

visibility of whales, as long as the whales are still over shallow waters. If they retreat to deep 

waters off the shelf, their surfacing intervals may change, making them harder to find. Also, 

when beluga groups are scattered over deep water areas, it is possible they are more readily 

missed than when they are close to shore or moving through river channels. 
6 

Although there are many hours of daylight in the Cook Inlet area during early June 

(just prior to the summer solstice), light levels were low enough at night to limit our survey to 

hours between 0730 and 2030, local time. The flight schedule for every survey day was 

designed to take advantage of tidal patterns, as described above, relative to workable daylight 

hours. 

Counting Protocol 

Immediately upon seeing a beluga group, each observer independently reported the 

sighting to the recorder. As the aircraft passed abeam of the whales, the observer informed 

the recorder of the inclinometer angle, whale travel direction, and notable behaviors but not 

group size. With each sighting, the observer's position (left front, left center, etc.) was 

recorded. An important component of the survey protocol was the independence of the paired 

observers (i.e., that they not cue each other to their sightings). Visual barriers between the 

observers and headsets that did not allow them to hear each other ensured independence. 

After a group of whales was reported, the trackline was maintained until the group was well 

behind the wing; then the aircraft returned to the group and began a circling routine. This 

allowed each observer full opportunity to independently sight and report whale groups. The 

pilot and data recorder did not cue the observers to the presence of a whale group until it was 

clear whether or not the primary observers had seen it. 

The whale group location was established at the onset of the aerial counting passes by 

flying directly over the group, recording starts and stops of group perimeters. The flight 

pattern used to count a whale group involved an extended oval around the longitudinal axis of 
7


the group with turns made well beyond the ends of the group. Counts of whales were made 

on each pass down the long axis of the oval. There were typically eight or more separate 

counting opportunities per whale group with two observers counting. Counts began and 

ended on a cue from the front observer, starting when the leading edge of the group was close 

enough to be counted and ending when the trailing edge went behind the wing line. This 

provided a precise record of the duration of each counting effort. The paired observers each 

made independent counts and wrote down their results along with date, time, pass number, 

and quality of the count. The quality of a count was a function of how well the observers saw 

the location of a group, not how many whales were at the surface on the respective pass. 

Ratings were A (if glare, whitecaps, or distance did not compromise the counting effort) 

through F (if it was not practical to count whales on the respective pass). Only quality A and 

B estimates were used in the analysis. Only whales that were at the surface during a counting 

pass were included; whale tracks in the muddy water or ripples were not counted. Count 

records were not shared among aerial team members until each season’s surveys were 

completed. This was done to maximize the independence of each observer's counts. 

Because most whale groups were counted on eight different aerial passes, and because 

two observers were counting on each pass, there were usually 16 counts made per group per 

day, not including counts made later from video tapes (see Hobbs et al. 2000b). The daily 

aerial counts are represented by medians of each of the four observers’ median counts on 

multiple passes over a group. The process of using medians instead of maximums or means 

reduces the effect of outliers (extremes in high or low counts) and makes the results more 
8


comparable to other surveys which lack multiple passes over whale groups. Medians are also 

more appropriate than maximums when counts are corrected for missed whales. 

After median counts were calculated for each location on each day, annual indexes 

were established from the highest daily sums. This procedure of using high counts 

ameliorates problems with partially or totally missing whale groups in certain areas on some 

days. The process of using daily high counts is a modification of the procedure used 

previously (Rugh et al. 2000a) in that formerly the highest count for each area was used 

irrespective of day, particularly by treating the Susitna/ Knik Arm areas as separate from 

Turnagain Arm/ Chickaloon Bay. However, because of the evident movement of whales 

between these areas in upper Cook Inlet on some days, over-counting was avoided by not 

adding counts from different days, except for sightings made in the lower Inlet. 

Cameras 

Two digital video cameras were operated together on most counting passes by having 

the pair mounted together on a common board. The “standard” camera (a Sony Digital 8 

DCR-TRV103 in 2001 and 2002 and a Sony DVCAM, DSR-PDX10 Model L10A in 2003 

and 20041

) was adjusted to keep the entire group of belugas in view (generally at maximum 

wide angle), but magnification was kept constant throughout a pass. The second camera (a 

Sony DSR PD100a used 2001-04) was kept at maximal optical zoom (12x). Images from the 

“standard” camera were studied in the laboratory for whale counts relative to the precise 

1

The change in video cameras was tested on three flights 31 May to 2 June 2003. Although the new 

camera has a higher resolution, no apparent differences were found in counting whales in the images. 
9


length of time that images were available to be counted (Hobbs et al. 2000b) These counts 

from video were used to determine the abundance estimates2

 (Hobbs et al. 2000a). Images 

from the camera kept at maximal zoom were examined for subtle surfacings that did not show 

up in the standard video and for color ratios (white adults vs. dark juveniles) within the 

respective groups (as described in Litzky 2001). Analysis of both the aerial counts and counts 

from the video tapes are detailed in Hobbs et al. (2000b) for 1994-2000 data. 

In addition, on half of the aerial passes in 2003 and 2004, a digital still camera (Nikon 

D1X with a 300 mm Nikkor AF lens) was mounted alongside the video camera used for 

standard wide angle video. The still camera was fired when there were whales in view, unlike 

the video camera which videotaped well before and after a whale group passed through the 

field of view. The digital still images provided greater detail to help detect calves, which are 

darker than the adults and do not rise above the surface as much as the white adults do (Sims 

et al. 2003). Results from the photographic aspects of these aerial surveys will be reported in 

subsequent documents but are not included here. 

Results 

Survey Effort 

Each year (2001-04), aerial surveys covered all or nearly all of the coastal areas of 

Cook Inlet (Figs. 2, 4, 6, 8). Table 1 summarizes survey dates and effort information. The 

2

Although whale counts made from video were used in abundance estimates, the median counts made 

by observers in the aircraft provided a quick, efficient approximation of relative abundance. Aerial counts could 

also be used as a proxy (with appropriate corrections relative to each observer and group density) for video 

counts when videoing was inadequate for a particular group. 
10


number of flights ranged from 13 to 17 each season, and individual flights ranged from 0.8 to 

6.5 hours. Flight hours (45-61 hours per season) are the sum of time spent in the air, whether 

or not a search effort was underway. Systematic search effort (25-29 hours per season) does 

not include time spent circling whale groups, deadheading without a search effort, or periods 

with poor visibility. Poor visibility hours (0.8-1.5 hours per season; 2.8-6.0% of the search 

effort; Table 1) are the sum of time spent in the air when excess glare, fog, whitecaps, or 

similar problems interfered with the survey effort, as determined by the left-front observer. 

The composite of these annual aerial surveys provided a thorough coverage of the 

coast of Cook Inlet (1,388 km) for most of the area within approximately 3 km of shore. In 

addition, there were many kilometers of systematic transects flown across the Inlet (Table 1). 

The percent coverage (25-31%) shown in Table 1 uses 19,863 km2

 as the surface area of Cook 

Inlet and assumes a 2.0 km transect swath (1.4 km on the left plus 1.4 km on the right, less the 

0.8 km blind zone beneath the aircraft). However, each year these surveys covered virtually 

100% of the coastal areas. Most of upper Cook Inlet was surveyed five or six times each 

year, especially areas where belugas have consistently been found in the past – such as the 

Susitna Delta, Knik Arm, and Chickaloon Bay. 

Three of the primary observers (authors of this report) have flown with this project on 

all or almost all of these surveys since 1993. The other observers have flown on two to five 

of the seasons. Differences between observers’ sighting performances (whether or not an 

observer found whale groups seen by others and how high or low that observer’s counts were 

relative to the other observers) are incorporated into correction factors for the abundance 

estimates (see Hobbs et al. 2000b), but in the analyses used here, medians provide sufficient 
11


compensation for most differences between observers. The use of medians (instead of means 

or maximum counts) and the consistency of the observation team have meant that changes in 

index counts between years are probably not a function of observer performance. 

Summary Counts 

Medians of counts of belugas are shown for each area for the respective dates in 

Tables 2 to 5, and sighting locations are shown in Figures 3, 5, 7, and 9. Typically, there were 

four good counts made by each observer for each group; therefore, medians were usually from 

16 counts per group. The annual median index counts for all observers for 2001-04 were 210, 

181, 174, and 187, respectively. These summary counts do not reflect any correction for 

missed whales. Calculations for whale groups missed during these aerial surveys and 

estimates of abundance are described in Hobbs et al. (2000a, 2000b). Abundance estimates 

with the respective covariances (CVs) are shown in Table 6. The abundance estimates are on 

average 1.87 times larger than the index counts. This correction factor could be used to 

calculate a crude estimate of absolute abundance when only aerial counts are available, but it 

does not factor in variables such as densities of whale groups, individual observer 

performance, search time, etc. 

During these surveys, only two belugas were seen in lower Cook Inlet (an adult and 

young whale on the north side of Kachemak Bay, 8 June 2001; Fig. 3), none were seen in the 

upper Inlet south of North Foreland and Point Possession, but many were seen in the Susitna 

Delta (33%), Knik Arm (31%), and Turnagain Arm/Chickaloon Bay (36%; Table 6). Most of 

the belugas in the Susitna Delta were in dense groups near the mouth of the Little Susitna 
12


River; only a few sightings were as far west as Beluga River. In Knik Arm, belugas were 

often spread over a large area, but they were most commonly found in or near Eagle Bay, 

depending on the tide. Turnagain Arm had belugas several times near the entrance to the 

fiord (southeast of Anchorage), but only one time during these 4 years was a group seen well 

up in Turnagain Arm (50 by count on 9 June 2004 near Sixmile Creek). Chickaloon Bay 

usually had belugas near the south shore, most often in an area 3 km southeast of Point 

Possession east to Chickaloon River. Annual counts in Chickaloon were often in the range of 

20-50, but in 2004 counts were as high as 176, and for the first time there appeared to be 

exchanges of belugas between the Susitna Delta and Chickaloon Bay within the timeframe of 

the survey; that is, when counts were low in the Susitna area, they were high in Chickaloon 

and vice versa. 

Daily Reports for 5-12 June 2001 

On the 3 three days (5-7 June) and last 3 days (10-12 June) of the 2001 survey, a total 

of six standard coastal tracklines were flown around upper Cook Inlet (Fig. 2). Typically, the 

route proceeded from Anchorage, around Fire Island, south to Point Possession, then down 

the coast to East Foreland and across the Inlet to West Foreland (although for 10-12 June, the 

route made a shortcut from Point Possession directly west to North Foreland), then north to 

the Susitna Delta (including flights up the McArthur, Beluga, Susitna, and Little Susitna 

rivers), Knik Arm (up Knik River as far as Eklutna), Turnagain Arm, and Chickaloon Bay 

(including Chickaloon River). There were two flights on each of these 6 days, with 5.9 to 7.3 

flight hours per day. Ideal counting conditions and thorough coverage of the upper Inlet 
13


occurred during most of the five surveys on 5-7 and 10-11 June, but on the sixth survey, 12 

June, winds in Turnagain Arm, a wide dispersal of whales in Chickaloon Bay, and difficulties 

with dense aerial traffic in and around Knik Arm made for poor survey conditions. Therefore, 

the upper Inlet was adequately sampled five times in 2001. 

Beluga groups were found in the Susitna Delta (44 to 114 whales on different days, 

most were between the west mouth of the Susitna River and the Little Susitna River), Knik 

Arm (60 to 127 whales, mostly along coastal areas south of Goose Bay and Eagle Bay at low 

tide), in Turnagain Arm (8 to 10 on different days, the first time our surveys have found 

belugas here since 1994), and in Chickaloon Bay (12 to 34 whales concentrated in Chickaloon 

River or on the south shore of the bay, but scattered when away from shore; Fig. 2). Belugas 

in Turnagain Arm and Chickaloon Bay are assumed to mingle and separate easily between 

days. It is also assumed that belugas mingle easily between the Susitna Delta and Knik Arm, 

but there seemed to be relatively little mingling between whales north and south of 

Anchorage, at least not during this 9-day survey period. Sighting locations were nearly 

identical to those made in most previous years except for a small group (~10 by count) in 

Turnagain Arm, seen 5 June in a whirlpool near Bird Point, and the same or similar group was 

seen near Potter’s Marsh (south of Anchorage) on 11 June in the morning and later that day 

seen again midway across the mouth of Turnagain Arm. On other days, no belugas were seen 

in Turnagain Arm, but counts in Chickaloon Bay were sometimes higher by an equal amount, 

indicating that whales seen in Turnagain Arm on one day may have joined the group in 

Chickaloon Bay on another day. 
14 

On 8 and 9 June, the lower Inlet was surveyed by following the east coast from Point 

Possession south to Elizabeth Island (including a flight up the Kenai River and around 

Kachemak Bay). Then an offshore trackline was flown north to Anchorage along the east 

third of the Inlet. On the following day, an offshore trackline was flown south from 

Anchorage along the west third of the Inlet. After reaching Cape Douglas, the survey 

continued north up the west side of Cook Inlet as far as West Foreland; then an offshore 

transect was followed back to Anchorage (Fig. 2). Refueling and rest stops were made in 

Homer on each of these two days. 

For the first time since June 1994, belugas were seen by our observers in Kachemak 

Bay. An adult and young whale (not a calf) were near the north shore of the bay, halfway 

between Homer and the east end of Kachemak Bay. They were in shallow, clear water and 

appeared to be eating or nosing the seafloor. No other belugas were seen on this day except at 

the end of the flight in Chickaloon Bay. 

Daily Reports for 4-11 June 2002 

Because the weather forecast for 4-5 June 2002 indicated unusually calm conditions 

throughout Cook Inlet, the aerial survey effort started in the lower Inlet, an area susceptible to 

storms from the Gulf of Alaska. Conditions remained nearly ideal throughout this period with 

generally low sea states and heavy overcast (reducing glare) but very little rain. On 4 June, 

the survey followed an offshore trackline down the western third of the Inlet and returned on a 

coastal survey of the western side. On 5 June, the survey went south along the east shore to 

the southern limit of Cook Inlet and then returned to Anchorage along a trackline bordering 
15


the eastern third of the Inlet (Fig. 4). Although one beluga group was seen near Point 

Possession while en route to the lower inlet, no belugas were encountered south of the 

Forelands (lower Cook Inlet) even though many other marine mammals were seen (see 

Appendix I). 

On each day 6-11 June, attempts were made to survey all coastal areas of upper Cook 

Inlet. After a particularly thorough survey of the area on 7 June (as represented in Fig. 4), it 

was decided that the remaining surveys did not need to go south of Point Possession or North 

Foreland, focusing instead on areas where belugas have been found in the past. A frontal 

system elevated the sea state on 8-9 June, reducing survey options to only Knik Arm, where 

waters were relatively protected. On 10-11 June, conditions were again favorable in most 

areas except that Turnagain Arm and the offshore areas of Chickaloon Bay remained difficult 

to survey because of high winds. 

Belugas were found in Chickaloon Bay, sometimes as far west as Point Possession or 

east near Chickaloon River, but none were seen in Turnagain Arm in spite of several good to 

excellent surveys of that area. Median counts in Chickaloon Bay were 11 on 6 June and 10 on 

7 June. Belugas were seen here on other days as well, but winds were too high to make good 

counts. 

The Susitna Delta was surveyed well on 6 and 7 June. Visibility was excellent on 

these days, and the survey effort included tracklines nearly halfway across the Inlet. 

However, no belugas were seen here even though this is the area where belugas have been 

found consistently during the past decade. High winds lowered visibility in this area on 8 and 

9 June, but on 10 and 11 June, conditions were again good. On 10 June, 32 belugas were 
16


counted in 2 groups between Beluga River and the Susitna River, and on 11 June the count 

rose to 93 in one “long” group in a north-south line south of the Susitna River. The group 

was moving east in an echelon formation. It appears there were exchanges of whales between 

the Susitna area and Knik Arm during the survey period. Some of this distribution may be a 

function of tides. 

In 2002, most of the beluga sightings occurred in Knik Arm. Because Knik Arm is 

relatively protected from winds, counts were made here on each of the six upper Inlet surveys. 

Median daily counts in Knik Arm ranged from 54 to 97 (Table 3). There were from 1 to 7 

groups seen here on different days with group sizes ranging from 1 to 87 whales. Although 

the whales seemed to consolidate into fewer groups when the tide was low, on an incoming 

tide they moved north, following channels in long lines which made them easier to count. 

Also, when the whales retreated to the south with an ebbing tide, they concentrated in an area 

where it is not practical to fly our racetrack pattern for counts because of restricted air space 

around Elmendorf Air Base, Merrill Field, and the Anchorage International Airport. At high 

tide, belugas would spread out across the shallow mud flats, making it difficult to recognize 

perimeters of groups and impractical to circle them for counts and videotaping. Therefore, it 

appears that the ideal time to survey Knik Arm was approximately an hour after the tide 

started to rise. 
17 

Daily Reports for 31 May to 12 June 2003 

On the first 3 days of the project in 2003 (31 May to 2 June), camera systems were 

tested to compare videos used during previous surveys to a new higher resolution digital 

camera (see Methods) and to test a digital still camera for documenting small, dark calves. 

Upper Cook Inlet was surveyed on 3 June in excellent conditions (Fig. 6). Winds 

were mild and skies clear. A high tide in Turnagain Arm meant the waters were flat and 

visibility excellent. No whales were found within Turnagain Arm, but a large group of 

belugas (median count of 64) was found in Chickaloon Bay. The survey then continued 

around Point Possession and south to the Forelands, then north around the Susitna Delta, 

including surveys up Beluga, Susitna, and Little Susitna Rivers. A small group of belugas 

(median count of 16) was found near the mouth of the Little Susitna River, and a large group 

(median count of 94) was in Eagle Bay of Knik Arm. The sum of these counts (174) was the 

highest this season. Locations where belugas were found on this day – Chickaloon Bay, at the 

mouth of the Little Susitna River, and in Knik Arm – were very typical of the sighting 

distribution at this time of year. After making this thorough survey of upper Cook Inlet, it 

was decided that the remaining surveys did not need to go more than a few kilometers south 

of Point Possession or Beluga River, focusing instead on areas where belugas are known to 

occur (Rugh et al. 2000b). 

On 4 June, another survey was made of upper Cook Inlet, but winds compromised the 

search in Turnagain Arm. Two groups of belugas were found in Chickaloon Bay, but counts 

here (40 whales) were lower than on the previous day because high winds caused deteriorated 

viewing conditions. The survey then continued south to Moose Point and west across the 
18


Inlet to Threemile Creek then north around the Susitna Delta. Although survey conditions 

were good, no belugas were found in the Susitna area. Knik Arm had good to excellent 

viewing conditions. Whales were again found in Eagle Bay. The median count here was 77, 

which is less than the count made on 3 June. 

On 5 June, winds picked up, making it too difficult to survey all of Turnagain Arm, 

although a group of belugas (25 whales) was seen southeast of Anchorage (near Potter’s 

Marsh). Poor sighting conditions in Chickaloon Bay meant that the only group found there 

(median count of 1) was in the protected waters of Chickaloon River. In spite of excellent 

conditions in the Susitna Delta, no whales were found there, and in Knik Arm viewing 

conditions were good, but only one small group (median count of 7) was found, perhaps 

because the tide was high. It appears that when the tide is high, the whales disperse over a 

large area in the middle of Knik Arm, which makes them hard to find and count. 

Another survey of upper Cook Inlet was made on 6 June. Wind and rain prevented an 

effective survey of Turnagain Arm, but conditions were good in Chickaloon Bay. Belugas 

(median count of 21) were found in Chickaloon River. In the search around the Susitna Delta, 

belugas were found at Beluga River (2 maximum count), at the mouth of the Susitna River 

(10 maximum count), and the Little Susitna River (2 maximum count), but in all of these 

cases, the median count was zero because these small groups were hard to find during the 

multiple passes made near the sighting area. In Knik Arm, two groups were found (median 

counts 86 and 6), resulting in counts similar to those made on 3 June (median count of 94). 

The east side of lower Cook Inlet was surveyed on 7 June (Fig. 6). Thorough 

coverage was made along all coastal areas between Point Possession and Elizabeth Island. 
19


Transects were then flown across the Inlet and back to Homer then continuing north up the 

western third of the Inlet, including a survey around Kalgin Island. No belugas were found, 

but many other marine mammals were seen (Appendix I), making it evident that visibility was 

not a problem. 

Upper Cook Inlet was surveyed again on 8 June under excellent conditions, starting at 

Threemile Creek and covering the Susitna Delta. Belugas were found near Beluga River (6 

whales) and the mouth of the Little Susitna River (28 whales). Whales were found scattered 

across the central portion of Knik Arm (30 whales), but they were spread out and difficult to 

count 2 hours after low tide. 

No flight was made on 9 June due to the lack of good options with tidal conditions, 

and this break allowed the observers to catch up on data edits, including video reviews and 

backups of digital photos. 

Upper Cook Inlet was surveyed on 10 June, starting at West Foreland and going north 

across the Susitna Delta. Belugas were again found at Beluga River (4 whales), east of the 

Susitna River (15 whales), and near the Little Susitna River (23 whales). In Knik Arm, 

several groups of belugas (62 whales) were found spread over a large area. Increasing rain 

prevented a search of Turnagain Arm and Chickaloon Bay. 

A final survey of upper Cook Inlet was made on 11 June, again under excellent 

conditions. The search began at Fire Island and continued into Turnagain Arm to Bird Point 

where the tide was so low the survey was not continued any farther east. No whales were 

found in Turnagain Arm. In Chickaloon Bay, the waters were calm, and 4 groups of belugas 

were found (52 whales total). The Susitna Delta was surveyed, and three groups were found 
20


in essentially the same locations as on 10 June, so no counts were made in order to get to 

Knik Arm on a low tide. One large group (53 whales) was found in the middle of Knik Arm, 

and 2 small groups (19 and 6 whales) were in the southern part of Knik Arm. In this area of 

dense air traffic, counts were made on only one or two passes as allowed by air traffic control. 

The sum of median counts of belugas along the north side of Cook Inlet (Susitna Delta to 

Knik Arm) was the same on 10 and 11 June (119) as it was on 3 June (110). 

The last day of surveying during the 2003 season, 12 June, was used to complete the 

coverage of lower Cook Inlet. In the morning, fog covered most of the Inlet north of Homer, 

but visibility was good to excellent south of there. A survey of the west coast was made from 

Cape Douglas north to Oil Bay, then across the Inlet to Homer. After a refueling break in 

Homer, the survey recrossed the Inlet, including a coastal route around Augustine Island and 

then north up the coast as far as West Foreland, followed by a direct flight to Anchorage. 

Visibility was good throughout the coastal portion of this survey, but no belugas were seen. 

Daily Reports for 2-9 June 2004 

A survey was flown on 2 June 2004 with the intention of doing a complete coverage of 

upper Cook Inlet (Fig. 8); however, Turnagain Arm and Chickaloon Bay were too windy, so 

the survey started at Fire Island and flew south to East Foreland and across the Inlet to Big 

River (Redoubt Bay) then north to the Susitna Delta. A large group of belugas was found 

near the Little Susitna River (Table 5; Fig. 9). It was to be counted after taking a break in 

Anchorage; however, radio communication problems terminated the survey early this day. 
21 

The survey on 3 June had a mix of excellent to poor visibility in Turnagain Arm and 

Chickaloon Bay at high tide. No belugas were found, probably because the search was 

compromised by visibility. Conditions were good as far south as Kenai Airport, where the plane 

was refueled and enough time passed for the tides to lower in the Susitna area. From Kenai, the 

survey flew west to Drift River and north along the coastline and rivers until 2 groups of whales 

(median counts = 5 + 94; Table 5) were found near the Little Susitna River (in the same area as a 

group was seen on the previous day, 2 June). The survey of Knik Arm resulted in no beluga 

sightings in spite of excellent conditions. This is the first time no significant whale groups have 

been seen in Knik Arm by these annual surveys since July 1995. 

Upper Cook Inlet was surveyed again on 4 June. Conditions were excellent in Turnagain 

Arm and Chickaloon Bay (at high tide), and as has been typical for almost every survey since 

1993, a small group of belugas (11 whales) was found in Chickaloon Bay. The search continued 

south to Kenai, and after refueling it went directly to North Foreland and along the coast in 

excellent viewing conditions (heavy overcast, no wind) around the Susitna Delta and Knik Arm. 

A large group of belugas (65 whales) was found west of the Little Susitna River, in the same 

location as on the previous 2 days. No whales were found in Knik Arm. 

On 5-6 June the lower half of Cook Inlet was surveyed to take advantage of favorable 

weather conditions (Fig. 8). On 5 June the survey searched coastal areas on the east side and 

returned north on a series of straight-line transects up the west third of the Inlet, including 

coastal surveys around Augustine and Kalgin Islands. On the second day, straight-line transects 

were flown south on the east third of the Inlet as far as Cape Douglas then up the west coast 

(plus a refueling stop in Homer) to West Foreland and then straight to Anchorage. Conditions 
22


for the coastal surveys on these two days were generally excellent and many marine mammals 

were seen (see Appendix I) but no belugas. 

Upper Cook Inlet was resurveyed on 7 June, starting with Chickaloon Bay to better 

synchronize the timing with high tide in Turnagain Arm. Two groups of belugas (129 and 47 

whales) were found in Chickaloon Bay, the largest numbers ever seen there. The survey also 

covered Turnagain Arm, the Susitna Delta, and Knik Arm. No belugas were found outside of 

Chickaloon Bay other than a small group (11 whales) at Theodore River, southwest of the mouth 

of Susitna River. 

Upper Cook Inlet was surveyed again on 8 June. Rain and fog limited the search initially 

to the Susitna area. A small group of belugas (15 whales) was found near the Little Susitna 

River, similar to the small group found near the Theodore River on the previous day. The survey 

then went to Point Possession and down the east coast to Kenai Airport. When weather 

improved, surveys were resumed and many belugas were again found in Chickaloon Bay (44 + 9 

+ 20 + 39 whales) and near the entrance to Turnagain Arm (37 whales), and again none were in 

Knik Arm, in spite of good survey conditions. 

The final survey, on 9 June, covered most coastal areas in upper Cook Inlet north of 

Moose Point and North Foreland. Two groups of belugas (9 + 32 whales) were found in and 

near the Little Susitna River (a location consistent with almost all surveys this season), well up 

in Turnagain Arm near Sixmile Creek (50 whales; the largest group seen in Turnagain since 

these surveys began in 1993), and in Chickaloon Bay (65 whales in a wide scatter across most of 

the nearshore area). It seems some of the whales that had been in Chickaloon Bay over the past 

few days may have returned to the Susitna Delta. 
23 

Discussion 

In Cook Inlet, belugas concentrate near river mouths or shallow bays during late spring 

and early summer across the northernmost reaches of the Inlet, especially in the Susitna Delta, 

Knik Arm, and Chickaloon Bay (Figs. 3, 5, 7, and 9; Rugh et al. 2000a). These concentrations 

apparently last from mid-May to July or later and are very likely associated with the migration of 

anadromous fish, particularly eulachon (Thaleichthys pacificus) and several species of Pacific 

salmon (Onchorynchus spp., Moore et al. 2000) . 

Historically many belugas were seen in both upper and lower Cook Inlet in June and July 

(Rugh et al. 2000a). However, between 1993 and 1995, during the first 3 years of the NMFS 

surveys, very few belugas (less than 3% of all of the annual sightings) were in the lower Inlet, 

south of the East and West Forelands (Table 6), and in subsequent years, 1996-2004, hardly any 

(one whale in Tuxedni Bay in 1997 and two in Kachemak Bay in 2001) have been seen in the 

lower Inlet during these surveys. Furthermore, in the southern half of the upper Inlet, south of 

North Foreland and Point Possession, sighting rates dropped from an annual average of 1.5% in 

1993-95 to zero for all subsequent years. Sighting conditions have generally been ideal during 

these aerial surveys, but the only places where belugas were consistently found were in the 

northern portion of the upper Inlet (Table 6). Many sea otters, harbor seals, harbor porpoise, 

gray whales, fins, and humpback whales were seen in the lower Inlet (Appendix I and II), so the 

lack of beluga sightings there was not due to poor visibility. 

Research protocol and coverage area for the annual aerial surveys of Cook Inlet have 

been kept consistent to minimize variables in inter-year analyses. The type of aircraft, window 
24


configuration, altitude, air speed, and coastal search patterns were constant, and most of the 

observers have been on many or all of the previous surveys, maintaining continuity in effort. On 

all but one of these 12 annual surveys, flights were in the first half of June. Each year there have 

been 4-6 replicate flights around upper Cook Inlet. The large number of flights per year across 

many years and the consistency of effort have helped us detect patterns of whale distribution. 

Although these aerial surveys do provide a broad-scale picture of the whale distribution each 

June, tagging provides much more detail, albeit of only a few whales (e.g., 14 belugas tagged by 

Hobbs et al. In review). Results from tagged whales show that the beluga distribution seen 

during the June aerial surveys is representative of most of the summer through to late autumn. 

In winter, the whales dispersed into deeper waters and farther south, but they never left Cook 

Inlet. 

Median estimates presented in Table 6 are a rough index of relative abundance. 

Calculated abundances with their respective CVs, also shown in Table 6, include corrections for 

whales missed within the viewing range of observers and whales missed because they were 

beneath the surface throughout an aerial counting pass. Estimates from 1994 to 2000 were 

reported in Hobbs et al. (2000a), and abundance estimates for surveys from 2001 to 2003 are 

from NMFS unpublished data (R.C. Hobbs, NMML, NOAA Fisheries, pers. commun.). The 

abundance estimates, with their associated CVs, are the appropriate values to be used in 

interyear trend analyses. Still, both median index counts and the abundance estimates reflect a 

similar trend (Fig. 10) showing declines until 1998 and no clear trend in numbers thereafter.

Douglas DeMaster, Sue Moore, and Paul Wade have each in turn served as Program 

Leaders of NMML’s Cetacean Assessment and Ecology Program during the conception, 

preparation, and conduct of this multi-year project. Dave Weintraub (Commander NW, Ltd., 

Wenatchee, WA) helped provide us with the aircraft and flew with us on virtually every 

survey. His investment in this project is greatly appreciated. Randy Weber was our primary 

pilot in 2002 and 2004; Jay Sefferen (for most of the season) and Earl Johnson (for 2 days) 

were our primary pilots in 2003. The pilots filled a critical role in keeping the aircraft at the 

preferred altitude and distance from shore while flying intricate patterns over rapidly moving 

whale groups all the while watching for aircraft in an exceptionally busy airspace. Prior to 

2003, data entries were made using a program created by James Cubbage (Cascadia Research 

Collective, Olympia, WA). In 2003 and 2004, data entries were made on a program originally 

developed for harbor porpoise surveys in the northeast Atlantic (made available through Debi 

Palka, Woods Hole, MA; software designed by Lex Hiby of Conservation Research Ltd, UK 

and Phil Lovell of Sea Mammal Research Unit, Scotland). Kristin Laidre (NMML) provided 

mapping of survey tracklines and sighting data in 2001 and 2002. Kim Goetz (Duke 

University, North Carolina) revamped and unified the database. Reviews of this document 

were provided by Tonya Zeppelin (NMML) and David Withrow (NMML). Technical edits

Table 6.-- Summary of index counts made during aerial surveys of belugas in Cook Inlet in June or 

July 1993-2004 with abundance estimates and the respective CV (Hobbs et al. 2000a; 

NMML unpubl. data). Old index counts treated Turnagain Arm/Chickaloon Bay 

separately from the rest of upper Cook Inlet. The new index uses the highest daily count 

from all of upper Cook Inlet. Highest median counts of belugas in each of six zones are 

shown; the sum of these high counts do not usually equal the index counts because in the 

latter case, highest daily sums were used, not highest counts per site (see Tables 2-5).

 Zones used in this table: 

1) Lower Cook Inlet, including all of the Inlet south of East and West Forelands. 

2) Mid-Inlet, which is bordered on the south by East and West Forelands and on the north 

by Point Possession and North Foreland. 

3) Susitna Delta, bordered by Beluga River and Point MacKenzie, including Fire Island. 

4) Knik Arm, with a southern boundary defined by Point MacKenzie and Point Woronzof. 

5) Turnagain Arm, including all waters east of Fire Island but not Chickaloon Bay. 

6) Chickaloon Bay, bordered by Point Possession and Burnt Island.

APPENDIX I 47 

Summaries of marine mammals sightings (other than belugas) made during aerial surveys of 

Cook Inlet in June or July 1993-2004. The target species for these surveys was beluga whales, so 

records of other species of large whales are considered good, but porpoises and sea otters might 

have been undercounted (they are not as visible in the distant sighting range), and pinnipeds were 

definitely undercounted because the observers searched over the water, not on rocks or beaches.
